Southwest Corn Gratin

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange corn and frozen vegetables on a prepared sheet pan. Bake 12–14 minutes or until tender, stirring once halfway through. Remove from oven and turn on broiler.
2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and chili powder until smooth. Slowly whisk in milk. Bring to a simmer, whisking to prevent any lumps. Season with salt and pepper. Add the Pepper Jack cheese, half at a time, whisking until thick and smooth after each addition. Stir in roasted vegetables.
3. Transfer mixture to a prepared baking dish. Broil 5 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Broil 1–2 minutes more or until breadcrumbs are golden and cheese is melted.
4. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
